Judgment in this cause was signed on October 10, 2019. A motion for new trial was filed on November 6, 2019. Pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 26.1, appellant’s notice of appeal was due on January 8, 2020 but was not filed until January 24, 2020. On January 27, 2020, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant of this defect so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done. Appellant was advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of the letter, the appeal would be dismissed. To date, no response has been received from appellant. Additionally, appellant has failed to pay the requisite filing fee. The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant’s failure to timely perfect his appeal, and appellant’s failure to respond to this Court’s notice, is of the opinion the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Accordingly, the appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a)(c). DORI CONTRERAS Chief Justice Delivered and filed the 12th day of March, 2020. 2
